American-Style Crispy Hash Browns Using Just a Sheet Pan .
Sheet pan hash browns are a simple, efficient way to achieve crispy golden potatoes with minimal effort. Perfect for large batches without much hassle.
The basic ingredients are potatoes, oil, salt, and pepper. Some may add a pinch of garlic or onion powder for extra flavor.
Grate your potatoes and soak them in water to remove excess starch. This step ensures a crispier texture when baked.
Patting down the grated potatoes thoroughly with a towel removes moisture, giving you that crispy outer layer.
Opt for oils with a high smoking point, like vegetable or canola oil. This helps prevent burning while achieving a crispy finish.
Keep it simple with salt and pepper, but don’t hesitate to experiment with paprika, garlic powder, or even fresh herbs like rosemary for added flavor.
Spread the potatoes evenly on the sheet pan and avoid overcrowding. This ensures each piece gets enough heat for even crisping.
These crispy hash browns can be paired with eggs, bacon, or even topped with sour cream or cheese for a delicious meal.
